RTS Student Television Awards

One of the most exciting aspects of television today is the way in which young people are always shaking things up with new ideas, scripts and fresh formats.  The Royal Television Society recognises this youthful enthusiasm in the annual Student Television Awards.

The deadline for returning an entry form for a 2016 Award was September 30th.  "The Awards are for student television work that shows outstanding visual and aural creativity, a mastery of craft skills, innovation, initiative, and storytelling."
Read More about the criteria (Word doc).  All entries are to be submitted via the RTS Online Awards Entry System.
